    Mhm... US? I've never been, never declared I was there and no intention to go in the near future.... On the other hand, I've visited more than 10 European countries and there's nothing on that. Anywayz, I'm cool, as long as they don't hunt my cigarette buds ;D

    Oh I dunno about that' I wasn't expecting much info from these notes I got today, so I wouldn't expect from the Nov ones either. I think I should order them just in case they ask for something and I don't get the e-mail (there were A LOT of cases, so I've heard).

    @ profiler: yes, I submitted two requests and yes, they are processing. I was aware op the policy you are talking about / IP-8 when I applied. The thing is I requested the notes same as legolg, on September 19 and they issued them the next day - I dunno why wait 30 days to send them, if they...

    So, guys, got my GCMS notes today. Soooo boring, basically they were generated a day after my request, so nothing was started yet. What I wanna say is: 1. My request was made under the Privacy Act, so I haven't paid any fee 2. I am currently out of status (with a restoration request pending)...

    Finally this morning myCIC was updated - background check in progress! No change in ECAS though, still app received. I know it has been discussed before but any thoughts on how long this stage will last? @profiler: regarding the blue/ black ink, all of my forms are black ink cause I filled...

    Ok, guys. I asked for the sponsor's notes too, along with mine. Just filled the form with my husband's details AND his email address and that's it. There is no way on earth they could know who was at the computer filling in the info or where (I could have been in Zimbabwe for all I care) as long...

    My friends and inlaws are from Kitchener (husband's hometown). That's where we got married. Awww this brings back sweet memories... I had no idea they have an office there.

    You think they wanna save gas money?! Haha. We're in Toronto, so just around the corner of Mississauga office. I'll let you know if they drop by.

    Actually one of my major question marks is whether they apply the backlog reduction thing only to apps received prior to June 13, or they run it to all of the straightforward apps. Anyhow, the term "backlog" makes me think they don't but who knows...

    Judging by MY shoes collection and all the crap in the bathroom they might end up thinking my husband is the one not living here :) :) :) As you said, just a razor, deodorant and shower gel ( not even that, cause I convinced him to get some oatmeal organic one)... :P

    I'm currently out of status (applied for restoration) and I send my request for notes last month. Just in case, to see what happends. I thought that maybe I can qualify under "living in Canada" condition and there was no fee to be paid so no harm trying. I'll let you know how that goes when/if I...

    Did anyone say BBQ?! :) However, I 've heard about that kind of "visit" just once while listening to a canadian immigration podcast, they had a guest former CIC officer that now works as an immigration consultant. She said back in the old days it was a common practice but now, they come over...

    You can use the work permit with any employer, that's why it's called open. Except for some cases where you cannot work in health related areas ( it should say on the paper, I guess).

    Haha, yeah. Thanks. So, for anyone interested in this, I just got off the phone with a very very nice CIC agent laaaady (if Profiler is Sheldon Cooper-ish all the time I am more like Bill Burr-ish ;D ). I wanted some info regarding my restoration of status app but apparently you cannot get to...

    I think his permit is just lost in the mail, so showing up wouldn't necessarily mean he'll get a copy right away. But it's worth trying. I for sure would be there every day asking and asking until they would be sick of me!
